Stream Extension Classes Programmers' Guide

Applies to: ~>3.0

Introduction

This section of the Stream Extension Classes documentation describes the API exposed by the classes to programmers.

Class	Unit	Description
TPJStreamWrapper	PJStreamWrapper	This is a base class for descendant classes that "wrap" a TStream class to filter the data or add functionality. The wrapped TStream is used to perform the required reads, writes and seeks. TStreamWrapper simply replicates the facilities in the wrapped stream - it is for descendant classes to add functionality.
TPJIStreamWrapper	PJIStreams	Implements the IStream interface for a wrapped TStream object.
TPJHandleIStreamWrapper	PJIStreams	Implements an IStream interface for a wrapped THandleStream object. Acts in a similar way to TPJIStreamWrapper except that file date stamps can be access.
TPJFileIStream	PJIStreams	Implements an IStream interface on a file stream.

This documentation complies with these conventions.

Unit	Description
PJStreamWrapper	Provides the core base class for all other classes that "wrap" a TStream instance to provide a filter or to add functionality.
PJIStreams	Contains stream wrapper classes that provide various implementations of the IStream interface.
